Features: Official-coal—meaning the sudden wealth dug from the earth, the naked transaction of power and money, the fall and sin, and the pain of life being consumed have become the most shocking words of this era. When we have grown weary and disgusted with the alluring and sensual reading scenes, Ge Shuiping's pen touches the bottom, stroking that real, tragic, moving world of the common people. Survival, poverty, sin, distortion, desire, and death entangle the bodies and souls of the characters in the book, incredibly painful. Yet, they still breathe faintly, holding faint hopes, yearning for the happiness of living. The survival cries of the lower-class people are hoarse and sorrowful, rough yet full of tenderness, layer by layer passing through the story, reaching deep into the hearts of people.
